Invacare Wheelchair E2621

The Invacare Wheelchair E2621 is a positioning wheelchair back cushion with lateral supports that is designed to provide users with additional support and stability while seated. It is suitable for individuals with a significant postural asymmetry due to various diagnoses, such as hemiplegia, traumatic brain injury, muscular dystrophy, and cerebral palsy.

The E2621 features a lightweight aluminum back with a 3-inch lateral contour depth, which provides lateral trunk support and helps to facilitate centering and postural control. It also has scapular cutouts to accommodate upright positioning with trunk extension without interfering with upper extremity function. Additionally, the sacral contours and tapered contours at the sacral portion of the back allow for full contact of the back shell against the user without interfering with hip placement in the seating system.

Stability

• Optional thoracic lateral supports and pelvic

stabilizers for wheelchair users with

positioning needs that require additional

lateral or pelvic control

• Unique back mounting hardware

Features Functional Beneﬁts

Regular and tall heights Accommodate the different postural requirements and need for taller back supports when used with tilt and/or recline

1" soft foam Provides optimal comfort with pressure redistribution

Spacer fabric Allows for improved airﬂow between the user and the back for optimal management of heat and moisture to promote better skin integrity

Scapular cutouts Facilitate upright positioning with trunk extension without interfering with upper extremity function. By not limiting upper extremity

range of motion, overall functionality is maximized

3" lateral contour depth Provides lateral trunk support to facilitate centering and postural control with proximal stability required for function

Sacral support Facilitates proximal stability required for function. Provides pelvic control/support for an upright posture with trunk extension

Sacral contours Tapered contours at the sacral portion of the back allow full contact of the back shell against the user without interfering with hip

placement in the seating system

Angle adjustable hardware Allows accommodation of hip range of motion limitations, kyphotic postures and posterior pelvic tilt by opening up seat to back angle

Depth adjustable hardware Allows positioning without losing seat depth, thereby maximizing the area of seating surface for optimal pressure redistribution

Height adjustable hardware Accommodates user’s positioning requirements in the wheelchair

Back Shell

Features Beneﬁts

Aluminum shell Lightweight to reduce overall weight of the frame and minimizes weight penalty when used with manual mobility thereby

improving efﬁciency with propulsion

Pre-drilled headrest holes Headrest can be mounted directly on the back and easily accommodates standard headrest mounting hardware

Hardware

Features Beneﬁts

Single-point mounting hardware Provides dual point strength in addition to secure mounting between canes without any unwanted play, while allowing height, depth

and back angle adjustment. Designed to mount onto back canes with an outside diameter of 1" or 7/8"

One tool assembly Only one tool needed for all installations, adjustments and accessories

Features Beneﬁts

Thoracic Lateral Supports Optional supports (4" tall) provide improved trunk control and stability

Pelvic Stabilizers Optional supports (3" tall) promote pelvic stability

These optional supports provide additional positioning for the trunk and pelvis to increase support for maximizing

upright (spinal extension) and midline (centered) trunk positioning. The thoracic lateral supports and pelvic

stabilizers are adjustable in height and width for accommodating ﬁxed posture asymmetries, correcting ﬂexible

postural deformities or adjusting over time to support postural changes incrementally in steps. Additionally, these

supports act as clinician’s hands to keep the patient in the best position identiﬁed.
